Yea, after I downloaded it today and playing it, I remembered I played it before. Combat feels a bit slow, timing on the Parry felt a bit inconsistent. I did get further through the demo than I did previously, but the distance from the last "bonfire" and where I died trying to learning a newly introduced mechanic (Blocking with a shield) was too far, so I noped out. I'll probably play it at launch though.
Rather hyped for Hyper Light Breaker though, even with it being blindingly bright. Khazan will make me rage quit though, I'm sure.

Looks cool.
Am I the only one that thinks "The Blood of DawnWalker" sounds weird, and should be "Blood of the DawnWalker?"

I was really excited for Hyper Light Breaker, but after watching a preview video and doing some research it looks like a Furry simulator as well as Sweet Baby Inc. being heavily involved. I really liked Hyper Light Drifter, sad day.

idk but if MissMikkaa beat three copies of Elden Ring simultaneously with a controller, a dance pad, and a dildo, it would break the internet (and likely her cervix.)

This was true when for all intents and purposes you knew your game wasn't going to be invaded by the pop culture gang and 4 quadrant you
Now at least you can kind of get a feeling for the behind the scenes culture at the studio. It's not much, and you're making a lot of assumptions, but it's a little something to deduce.
Also shit was cool either way.

As a big DFO fan I've been somewhat looking forward to it but not sure I'll pick it up at release versus on sale later since I have tons of games to play. It looks pretty solid though for a spin off. Their fighting game looked pretty cool too but they kinda completely abandonned support for that(or well they had a stupid 1year delay before the first DLC chars were released or something which was dumb as fuck).

That was a solid demo, got a lot of play out of it. Combat is pretty good, heavier on parry/deflection vs dodging, but doesn't feel as polished as Lies of P.
Loot is pretty simple and armor pieces can not only have set pieces, but you can also get upgraded versions of it. You can keep farming trash mobs and potentially get even better stuff. Kind of like Nioh?
There's gold and crafting items, but there was no use of that stuff in the demo.
Only real complaint was that it feels as ranged can just keep gunning at you.

I played a past demo (and re-downloaded this one in case it's different to try it in case a friend grabs it), it's a good game. I just prefer the Company of Heroes / Supreme Commander games when it comes to RTS titles, not so much the twitchy / classic Command and Conquer or Starcraft formula.
Edit: there's a thread on the Steam forums that suggests they've said this would be max 2v2, will never pick it up if that ends up being true.
Edit2: Yeah, per their latest livestream, no plans for more than 4 players, no mods, no map maker. This will sadly be a pass for the time being.
